Hollywood Zenith

Chapter 458 Discovered!-2



" Oohawa hawa" Soo-jin was lost for words. It was the side of Samuel that she never expected to see, and with how brazen he was, she couldn\'t find anything to retort him with.

" If you are going to be like that, I guess I must make the first move." He pulled her closer and lifted her up in his arms. He was princess-carrying her, but she couldn\'t even resist; her brain had already short-circuited!

Samuel looked down and saw her bashfully hiding her face. It was evident that his tactics worked, but now he had to neutralize the situation, but backing down meant his defeat. He was waiting for others to speak, but they were like a peanut gallery watching a fun show without making noise.

Thankfully, his phone rang suddenly, giving him an excuse to escape from her. He saw the caller ID; it was Jean, which could be important too.

" Should we take a rain check? Until I get back, don\'t run away. I hate being unable to \'satisfy\' my Sunbai\'s desire." After giving her a cheeky smile, he left the living room to take the call.

" W-what just happened?" Ningning murmured. She never expected to be mesmerized by a man in her lifetime; it was like she couldn\'t help herself.

"Hahaha, that\'s my Sami for you! Come one, pour me another one!" Kayla shouted from afar. She was very well acquainted with his charm, " these bitches had it coming!" She thought and started laughing again.

" We shouldn\'t mess with him again." Mi Sun sighed. She knew he was talented, but they couldn\'t deny that he was barely an adult. She knew better than anyone how her team members occasionally mess with men around them.

It was harmful flirting, but due to the treacherous nature of the entertainment industry, it was not easy to traverse it without using underhanded techniques. Even though she was not entirely unclean in this respect, she had too many things that she didn\'t like. 

People didn\'t know these dark spots of the industry; it was a miracle they could preserve their innocence up until these points, which was why she thought it was a big blow to Soo-jin and others\' egos when Samuel was concerned.

Mi Sun had always been calculative; she was overthinking it because she was still assuming Samuel was not wealthy and there might be a reason he was living here. Which was farther from the truth, but she didn\'t know it yet.

" H-he he was so coooool~!" Soo-jin exclaimed after gathering her thoughts. What Mi Sun was thinking didn\'t happen; he had gained another loyal fan!

" What? Who is cool?" Mayra, who came out carrying snacks, was totally oblivious to it.

Meanwhile, Samuel was talking with Jean over the phone.

" What? They are with you? Why?" Instead of Jean, someone else screamed through the phone.

" Manager? I don\'t know, they suddenly said they wanted to come to our house. We just finished dinner-"

" Did anyone see you leaving with them? What about the building\'s security?" This time, it was Leeteuk who talked. It seemed like he was on the speakerphone.

" Don\'t worry. I have taken care of everything."

" Sami! How could you leave me here? You didn\'t even say anything!" Kim Bo-mi lamented. She was the only one left behind, so it was understandable that she missed everyone.

" What do you want me to do? I can send them back."

" I want to," Bo-mi was interrupted by Manager Kim as he took hold of the phone.

" That\'s alright; I will pick them up in the morning. Send me the address."

" Alright." Unlike Manager Kim, they ended the conversation, but everyone else was still worried.

" Shouldn\'t we go there and take them home? What if something happens to them?" Eunhyuk asked.

" I know he helped us, but can we trust him? You know what would happen if anything happened to them." Shindong shared the same sentiment. Others nodded along their head, confirming their suspicion.

" It\'s alright. Let\'s go, it getting late. I will take all the responsibility." Manager Kim said seriously; Jean approached him and patted his shoulders. There was no reason for them to be so tense; it was a simple sleepover, and it was not like they were alone. Jean had already told him about Kayla and Mayra.

When Samuel returned, everyone was gone except for Mayra and Kayla, who were already down snoring on the sofa. Mayra was cleaning the table, and she also noticed his presence.

" Are you looking for them? What did you even do to them? They looked scared."

" I didn\'t do anything. So they ran away... It\'s good."

" What good? Can you two act normal for once!?" She smacked his back. She was under the impression Samuel did something terrible because she had seen how they stuffed their cheeks hurriedly and went upstairs without even having the dessert she had prepared.

They even dragged Mi Sun with them; it was apparent something must have happened when she was in the kitchen.

" Don\'t worry about them. I will carry her up to the room. We should sleep together tonight."

" What? No, what if-"

" Suush.. Do you want me to sleep on the sofa? Have you forgotten we only have four rooms?" Samuel touched her lips, and she realized what he was talking about.

" Fine, but no funny business tonight." She waved her hand away and declared astutely. 

" Are you sure about that?" He came closer and lifted up her chin. Her cheeks flushed immediately as she wanted to escape again; she knew it was much harder for her to resist him than she was for him.

" Why are you running away? Are you afraid you will get caught? Now that I think about it, we never spend much time alone. We can rectify that." He kissed her softly; she was about to succumb to his charms when they heard a loud bang upstairs.

Their eyes immediately followed the direction of the sound, and all they saw was a tumbled-over vase. They were unsure who peaked at them, but it must be one of the girls.

" See?" She pouted. What she feared happened, but instead of feeling embarrassed, she felt a sense of relief for some reason.

" I don\'t, but I will accept your request. I will see you upstairs." Samuel sighed; it was not good to tease her anymore. He also had another problem, the sneaky rat that discovered them kissing; it was not a huge issue. He had many ways to find out who it was; he just had to press them harder.

...

...

...

In a hidden underground bunker somewhere in France, one person was typing away like a madman. There were multiple screens opened in front of him that were constantly displaying different feeds and videos.

" Do you understand the gravity of the situation? I don\'t have to tell you what would happen if my lord-"

" Shut your mouth! I don\'t work for you or your boss. I am only helping because you are paying me big money, but don\'t forget that if the main family finds out about us, we will be dead meat!" The man in front of the computer exclaimed. This empty threat could work on ordinary people, but he was special; even if the mission failed, nothing harmed his reputation.

" I misspoke; please help us. As I told you, she is in Paris, but we cannot locate her exact position." The person threatening him one second ago immediately took a more submissive position.

As long as the mission was successful, he didn\'t care if he had to lower his pride. It was better to be alive than fail this mission over petty ego. 

" Good, I don\'t know if I will be able to find her because it\'s already night, so the flow of information has decreased a lot, but we are tapping into every surveillance camera and the government\'s feed. We will find her."

" You, I mean, sir, I was under the impression that you could do it within a few hours, but we have been here for a few days. Are you sure-"

" Don\'t dare you doubt me, you punk! I don\'t know why, but something is blocking me from getting to it. There is always a gray area, even in urban cities, but this has never happened before. Accessing the past few days\' footage, there seems to be a black area where no information could be recovered. Are you sure she is a normal girl?" The hacker was also perplexed.

This type of security was often deployed when dealing with influential people like high-ranking politicians and heads of state. Still, even then, there would be clues to decipher some information. He was confident he could track even the president of the USA if he put his mind to it, so why couldn\'t he find a small girl?

Just then, the screen lit up; it was a corner screen that handled new social media threads. With the advancement of technology, they could quickly shift through many pictures, knowing there were enough pixels to make it an automated system.

" Hahaha, found her! Look here, it\'s a fresh lead only a few hours old!" He put the information on the main screen.

The other man\'s eyes also gleamed with happiness, finally seeing the girl that he recognized from his memory. It was he who \'took care\' of her family when they found out she was a match, and now, seeing her all dolled up, he was excited.

" Quickly dig up everything about this photo!"

" Che, you don\'t have to tell me twice. This was taken in Le Zenith during a concert that happened tonight. I believe you can take care of the rest, right?"

" Hahaha, Finally! Let\'s get her back!" He started laughing maniacally.
